The truth in this blog is one of the songs in my heart & one of my prayers for The Church...that we come into the knowledge of the truth about the New Covenant & how Christ fulfilled the law! It's amazing how so many precious Christians quote from Hebrews (10:25) to sustain the Old Covenant churchianity...when in fact, the author of Hebrew's MAIN intent was to show how superior the New Covenant is to the Old Covenant, & how God has given His ppl a new & better way of worship thru Jesus Christ! It's amazing how ppl take New Testament Scriptures out of context to support the old wine. The new wine is MUCH better. Oh taste & see! God bless you -In Christ Exit Churchianity Amen & halleluyah!

And, at the same time, it humbles me to no end. I find that the more I learn the more I realize how much I will never know. At first, that realization made me so sad. But, when I realized why we couldn't learn everything (because God is infinite) it comforted me and caused me to worship God all the more. Praise the Infinite One! THis makes me so happy to know.

All it says is "the body suffers", which I would say is true. In the same way that if you lost an arm you would suffer. You wouldn't cease in living, you would just suffer. I think all the writer is saying is that the body simply suffers when a part of it is missing, not that it ceases to worship completely. i don’t know if the quote actually is referring to the body becoming incapable of worship.

Are you speaking in terms of physically contribution? Isn't a community contributing in worship by worshiping? When a body of believers come together to worship it isn't what they bring to contribute to the body physically, but there heart. If all of the community is worshiping wholeheartedly than I don't know how much a community could improve in worship. This applies both individually and as a community. The only thing that a community/an individual should contribute to make worship worship to the fullest is there whole heart. To worship God not only individually with there whole heart but as one body with one heart. The heart of Jesus Christ. I believe that if everyone is doing this than physical acts of worship will come. When you say:

We can definitely still worship, and I don't think our worship has a critical flaw, but if you think about it, in life there is always potential for our community to be improved if only some of us would pitch in and contribute.

So, basically, the church will never have all the parts and pieces perfectly together for God, but He will always enable us to accomplish his purposes.

I remember when I was little everything was new and exciting. I reveled in the joys of watching "America's funniest home videos" with my family. I rejoiced in the sweet taste of summer watermelon with salt. I even relished the lively sounds of fiddle music on an old beat up cassette tape. Now I've grown rather bored of seeing "America's funniest home videos." I don't really enjoy watermelon that much anymore. I'm rather unimpressed with the sound quality of that cassette tape. Actually, it's been a long time since I've really been truly amazed by a piece of music. It seems that the repetition of life has a way of taking marvelous things and causing us to grow accustomed to them so that they become mundane. That is why I am so excited that there is infinite joy in God that is overflowing to me everyday. Life is SO good, and I delight in the thousands of blessings that I experience every single day.

Paul uses the analogy of the body to say that when one member suffers, the rest of the body suffers with it. But this is a little different than if someone is simply missing.

That may be a great way to talk about these verses in a sermon. Maybe that's why we don't feel the loss of our missing members, because we have never worshipped as a whole body. If you were born deaf, or without an index finger would you miss it as much as someone who had lost their hearing or finger? But it would still be missing.
